CI Paints~ Inspired By:Anything Goes

Good Morning Bloggers!!!
It is time for another fun
Inspired By Challenge over at
This weeks Challenge~
Inspired By: Anything Goes
and this is my inspiration....
Yes I know you have seen this project before but I LOVE it so much
that I wanted to share it again...in case you missed it the first time around :)
Not only that but to let you all know how AWESOME CI Paints are to use with
your canvas bags!!!
So here is my super adorable canvas bag, stamped with the adorable monster from
Jaded Blossom's~ Monster Mash stamp set
I originally tried to color the image with my copics but it bled too much and looked horrible
So I  gave my trusty paints a go
 (actually it was my hubby that suggested it after I complained about ruining a bag)
The paints too amazingly and now I am in LOVE
 Here is a close-up of the image....how adorable is this??
The paints show the sparkle and that monster...too cute to spook for sure :)

Supplies:
Paper~ Kraft (The Kraft Outlet)
Monster Mash
Ink~ Memento Tuxedo Black
Spooky Bundle~ Green Goblin, Witch's Brew
Lavender, Rose Quartz, Coal, Green Olive, Winter Frost
Medium Cotton Bags
Twine~Grape Limeade
Buttons
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I felt bad about sharing a project I already shared here so I made a card to show as well
I followed the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches
and came up with this...

I used the image AKV Fall Pumpkin Trio from Bugaboo Stamps
and colored it with my copics....Then of course for some added sparkle I added Creative Inspirations Paint in Pumpkin to the pumpkins...
Here is a close-up of the image....LOVE that sparkle!!!
For the sentiment I used Creative Inspirations Paint~ Deliquesce Black embossing powder
with My Craft Spot~ Happy Fall sentiment

Supplies:
Paper~ Kraft, MME~ Mischievous
Stamps~ My Craft Spot~
Happy Fall

Here is what I came up with....

So I brought out my favorite paints~ Creative Inspirations Paint and tada....it worked AWESOME!!!

Just a Note w/TAWS

Morning!!!
I have a DT card to share using October's new release~
from
 The Alley Way Stamps

You know how I love my CAS cards...so here is another one!
The great thing about this card...besides how quick and easy it was to put together..
is it can be made with any colors or pattern paper!!
I used my Cameo and Paper from Echo Park's~Everyday Eclectic to cut the scallops.
I attached them to my card then ran it quickly through my sewing machine :)
Then the perfect sentiment and there you have it!
"Just a Note"!

Hope you have enjoyed my CAS card!!
Thanks so much for stopping by and have a GREAT day!!
